The agency will be cut for sure.

But not the funding.

Of course not. How else would Elon pay for the contracts he writes for himself?

@#8 ... The GOP has wanted the VA Hospital system to go away ...

Not go away, but given to for-profit corporations.

Republicans want to privatize the VA. Veteran groups disagree. (2014)
www.vox.com

... In the wake of growing scandal, Republican leaders are pushing to privatize US health-care services to veterans.

"Veterans have earned the right to choose where and when they get their medical care, and it is our responsibility to afford them this option," McCain wrote in The Wall Street Journal. "Continuing to require that they rely on a system riddled with dysfunction, while waiting for broader reform, is patently unacceptable."

"Veteran advocates have a different take: privatization would undercut a system that specializes in veterans' needs"

Veteran advocates, however, have a different take: privatization would undercut a system that specializes in veterans' needs. ...


Of course, profit over the needs of Veterans.
